IS There ANY Hope?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS
OF PULMONARY EXPERTS !
Can the Universal Consumption be Sue.
. oessfully Treated?

DR.. Borgeon, a leading French doctor,
has new trestment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part of
the throat and lungs.
This Treatment, too, is directed at eff
fects-ths cause remains undistu1bed.
What this cause is has been stated by
perhaps t5e highest pulmonary authority
in the world, i. e, the Brompton Eospits!
for ConsunptiYes in London, England.
This maiedy every year carries off from
one-seventh.to one-ffth of theentire pop
uiation of England!
DR.. Paying. NJ. D., NJ. r. C.tP., London,
is authority for this statement.
The same Or greater proportion Of
deaths obtains il America. s;
DR.. Payne also says that one half the
total number of deaths from all other
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which emily Troublesome irritant
to develop. -
DR.. Herman Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, eays that consumption is
caused By dt fclept nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood. Z q
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritsnt in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds
which DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood. y ~
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and If they are in the
least deraneed they cannot rid the blood
of its killing poison. THE thousand little

The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 81 per cent. OF the victims OF
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison to remain In the blood and irritate
the lungs. Tais'uIic acid is always fight

This, then, is the cOudlt on of things
that always precedes consumption: First,
weakened kidneys; second, retained u!ic-
acid, poisoning the blood; third, the
development of disease in the lungs by
the irritant acids passing through them.
